# MetaPet Schools Parent/Carer Note

## What is this?

`MetaPet Schools` is a short teacher-led classroom activity for Years 3-6. Students use a digital companion to notice patterns, practise simple online safety habits, and talk about systems and regulation in age-appropriate language.

## What it does not require

- No student account
- No student email
- No public profile
- No social sharing

## What is stored during normal classroom use

- A teacher-chosen alias
- Lesson progress on the classroom device
- A local class summary for pilot evidence

## How participation works

- The default pilot pack assumes parent/carer opt-in before direct student use.
- If your school uses a different approved local process, it should explain that clearly before classroom use.
- Students who are not the primary device user can still take part through observation, discussion, or teacher-provided alternatives.

## How long is it kept?

The current pilot setup uses short local retention and teacher-controlled deletion. Teachers can clear local classroom data at any time.

## Who should I contact?

Please contact the school if you have questions about classroom use, privacy, or whether your child participates in the pilot.
